I remember renting this game when it came out in 1996 and getting to ~ The Forest Maze before returning it. Of course I asked for the game for Christmas, and I've replayed it many times over the years. It's still up there in my all-time favourite RPGs.
In every way it is a masterful game on the SNES. Some of the best use of the sound chip and catchy tunes, incredible pre-rendered graphics, a simple but more engaging and innovative combat system (timed attacks), a fun adventure story full of humor while you travel around the world, jumping in an RPG, many fun minigames and secrets, and short enough to not overstay its welcome. Outstanding in all regards.
